first to receive lanterns. The idea of pre-



senting them originated from one line, “the

only lantern in Bryn Mawr,” in a song by

Dr. E. Washburn Hopkins, former profes-
sor of Greek.

‘Lantern-giving was originally only an in-
cident in the impromptu entertainment
which the Sophomores gave the Freshmen.
The earlier classes received their lanterns
in broad daylight after an outdoor play,
and had first to undergo a severe oral quiz
at the hands of the Sophomores. Later the
ceremony was transferred to the night when
the Freshmen received their caps and

_ gowns, and was moved from the campus to

the cloisters.

The Greek hymn, “Pallas Athene Thea,”
1893’s class song and first
sung at Lantern Night by 1901. The Fresh-
man song, “Over the way to the sacred
shrine,” originally 1908’s class song, was
first used on Lantern Night by 1917. Be-
fore that éach class wrote a song of its

_ own for Lantern Night.



Dr. Leuba Gives Second Lecture of
Social Service Course

Dr. James H. Leuba, Professor of Psy-

chology, spoke on Mental Hygiene or

the “science and art of enabling minds

to do the most work with least fatigue,”

in the second lecture of the Social Serv-

‘ice Course, Wednesday evening, in Tay-

lor. Over two hundred and seventy-five
people attended the lecture.

Professor Leuba outlined the scope of
a broadly conceived science of mental
hygiene. With regard to mental fatigue,
he mentioned the probiems of the most
profitable division of the day in periods
of work and of rest, the length of time it
is best to devote to a study before pass-
ing to another; and the more funda-
mental problem concerning the degree of
fatigue it is advisable to incur before
resting. In this field definite knowledge
depends upon accurate measurement of
the amount of work done and of fatigue.
“Some of the best work in the field of
vision in relation to efficiency and com-
fort has been done by my colleagues at
Bryn Mawr,” said Dr. Leuba.

“Much that belongs to the field of men-
tal hygiene is done in a more or less un-
conscious way by the teacher, Any train-
ing in straightforward, logical thinking
conduces to fuller mental efficiency. Too
many people think as drunken men walk,
But here, as elsewhere, our methods are
still amateurish.”

Isabel Foster to Work For Campaign

Isabel Foster, 15, is to reach Bryn Mawr
November 4 to start her year’s work for
the Endowment Fund Campaign. Miss
Foster was the originator and first manag-
ing editor of the Cottece News. She got
out the first issue of the News at the open-
ing of college in the fall of 1914 with the
help of Miss Applebee and three undergrad-
uates.

After. graduation Miss Foster attended
the school of journalism for one year. Sub-
sequently she worked on a Berlin, New
Hampshire, paper.

She has been telegraph editor for the last
two years on the Waterbury Republican.

Miss Foster is to have charge of the pub-
licity work to be done here.



Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians yester-
day afternoon.

Taylor bell announced the approach of
the royal party, and shortly afterward
the Queen’s automobile passed. through
the closely-guarded Pembroke Arch and
drew up in front of Taylor... Mr. and
Mrs. Brand Whitlock, Princess of Chimay,
lady-in-waiting to the Queen, Mrs. Ed-
ward Smith, wife of the Mayor of Phila-
delphia; Mrs. Bayard Henry and the Bel-
gian Ambassador were in Her Mafesty’s
party, .

Escorted by President Taft and Dr.
Rufus Jones, the Queen walked between
a double row of students to the Library
steps. The faculty, in brilliantly colored
gowns, and the students in academic
dress, closed in around ‘the Queen, sing-
ing La Brabanconne, the Belgian national
hymn. After the singing of the Star-
Spangled Banner, President Taft made a
short address of welcome. The students
followed with “Come, Cheer for the Col-
lege,” and an enthusiastic “Anassa” for
“the Queen of the Belgians” while she
was presented with a bunch of roses by
the president of the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation.

After the singing of “Thou Gracious
Inspiration,” the Queen walked through
‘the cloisters. As she came out of the
Library, Her Majesty noticed Frances
Branson Keller, ex-’'19, standing near the
steps with her baby in her arms. Paus-
ing beside her, Queen Elizabeth smiled
at her and asked: “Is this the youngest
student?”

On the hockey field a game between
Varsity and second team was in progress

(Continued on page 2)

| Hlizabeth, President Taft said, in part:

‘college this visit will never be forgotten.”

In her address of welcome to Queen

“We have ventured to invite Your
Majesty to visit Bryn Mawr because we
believed that you could not fail to be
interested in women’s education § in
America when you have shown such a
deep interest in all matters concerning
both women and education in Belgium.

“Bryn Mawr must seem to Your Ma-
‘jesty very young for an institution of
iearning—in fact, almost a mushroom
growth. .... But higher education for
women is a new growth in every part of
the world, and we pride ourselves at
Bryn Mawr that we have been pioneers
in the movement in the United States,
and that we have worked always for the
maintenance of the highest standards in
education. ....

“Because Bryn Mawr has, we hope,
been true to these ideals, we felt that
we had the right to bring Your Majesty
here this afternoon and to show you
something of what we have been doing.

“For ourselves, for all of us, I may say
that there is no visitor whom the college
would receive’ with more whole-souled
enthusiasm and more earnest respect.
We greet you as the representative of
Belgium, the country which during the
war evoked the deepest sympathy and
the sincerest admiration all over the
United States.....

“We honor you as the Queen of the
land which performed such a great act
for humanity. We honor you also be-
cause your own heroic conduct during
the war was so truly representative of
all that was finest in Belgium.

“Bryn Mawr could have had no greater
happiness than to receive Your Majesty
this afternoon, and in the history of the

—— DOWNS GERMANTOWN

German “Written” Fails Fourteen |Sure Team Work Nets Score of 7-3

| Verein the victory over Germantown last



students in singing La Brabanconne.





Hard shooting and quick passing gave

Saturday by a score of 7-3. Perfect team
work down the left side of the field and a
strong center line-up, based on ‘Capt. Carey
at center half, proved more than a match
for the speedy dribbling of Germantown’s
wings and its almost impregnable defense.

The Germantown line-up included besides
M. Bacon, '18, former Varsity captain, and
E. Biddle, 19, Varsity halfback, 1918-19,
Miss Mason and Miss Wiener, who have
both been players on the Varsity hockey
team at Vassar.

A. Nicoll, ’22, passed B. Brown, German-
town’s strong fullback, for the first goal,
after five minutes of hard play. This was
followed by a second score by C. Bickley,
21, who steadied the Varsity forward line
by her sure dribbling and good passes to
the wings. After a goal for Germantown by
E. Mason, the play concentrated near the
opponents’ goal, and A. Nicoll, 22, made
the third score with a long shot from the
corner. D. Rogers, '20, co-operated well
with B. Weaver, ’20, who time and again
stopped E. Wiener after a long run, by the
elever use of her stick. E. Biddle blocked
the right side of the field by her good in-
terference and strong back-hand stroke.

In the second half the playing was slow-
er, E. Mason making the first score. E.
Anderson, "22, put in a pretty shot after
a messy scrimmage inside the circle. Fol-
lowing a goal by M. Carey from the edge



“The world has lost its civilization dur-
a ee ee

y, speaking of the utility and origin of
sa ee beauty Saturday evening at Bryn
Mawr. Lord Dunsany gave a reading of
an unpublished play, “The Compromise of
the King of the Golden Isles;” “Destina-
tion,” from Fifty-One Tales, and-a piece
of prose, “Why the Milkman Shudders
When He Perceives the Dawn,” written to
show that atmosphere can be created inde-
pendent of tale.

“Howitzers have been so necessary for
so long that the world has been taken up
with things unpropitious to the arts,” con-
tinued Lord Dunsany. “What is the use
of a sonnet? A sonnet can’t kill. I say the
highest utility is beauty and the happiness
derived from it. An art is any work su-
premely well done. Toothpicks can’t be
made supremely and the manufacture of
toothpicks has not the right to be called
one of the arts.”

Lord Dunsany went on to say that an
ideal is necessary, “an ideal into which all
the experience of life goes.” “Have an
ideal and beauty becomes the coping stone.
Far greater than fine thinking is fine feel-
ing. Give a man fine feeling and a little
technique and he will make the world a
little better.”

“With cleverness man builds factories,
makes money. I set more store by nature.
I have never thought out any problem nor
done anything by scientific analysis. I
write very quickly things that come to me
from the influence of dawn and the hills.”
In speaking of “The Compromise of the
King of the Golden Isles,” Lord Dunsany
said, “I must be precise about time and
place. People always want to know so I
always tell them. Scene: A long way off.
Time: Yesterday. Lord Dunsany read the
play and two selections from his prose
work.

Lord Dunsany showed the manuscript of
the play to the guests at the reception held
afterward in Rockefeller. The play was
written on vellum with a quill pen and
underlined in scarlet. Lord Dunsany had
illustrated it himself to indicate the stage
directions, All his plays are acted under
his supervision before they are published.

“The Dirge of Victory” is considered by
Dunsany to be the best poem he has
written.

Graduates to Give “Prunella”

For the first time in several years the
graduate students are to give a play, Lau-
rence Housman’s “Prunella” has been
chosen and the date set for December 6,
Dr. Savage is coaching the graduates and
the try-outs have already been held. Ruth
Woodruff, '19, is chairman of a committee
with representatives in all the halls. It is
said that the material at the try-outs was
very encouraging.

The British students have been prime
movers im ‘starting the plans. Several of
them have acted in war benefits during the
last few years.

Catherine Bickley Junior President

Catherine Bickley was elected president
of 1921 last Wednesday. Elizabeth Taylor
was made vice president, and Mary Goggin
secretary. Miss Bickley is a member of
the Undergraduate Association Advisory
Board. Miss Taylor is secretary of the
Undergraduate Association, and Miss Gog-
gin is on the Self-Government Executive
Board. Miss Bickley and Miss Goggin
were prepared at the Shipley School and

‘Eleanor Dulles on “News” Board

Eleanor Dulles, ‘17, will be on the
“News” Board this year. Miss Dulles
was the first editor to make the “News”
by competition in 1915, after the original
board was founded. She spent two years
in France working under the Shurtleff
Relief and Friends’ War Victims’ Relief.
She holds the I. C. S. A. scholarship at
Bryn Mawr this year, and is taking the
course in employment management.

Queen Elizabeth

The visit of Queen Elizabeth of Bel-
gium to Bryn Mawr is an event that will
live long in the memory of everyone who
was present. If we admired her before
for her indomitable courage and unswerv-
ing devotion to her country, we love her
now for the human interest she evi-
denced toward our sport and the gra-
ciousness of her farewell under the arch.
Her modesty and unpretentiousness
completely won the heart of the whole
college and made Bryn Mawr all the
more grateful for this opportunity of pay-
ing a tribute to one of the greatest

. women of the war.

To Go Beyond the Headlines

The authority of conviction, not opin-
ion, and knowledge, not speculation, is
the criterion of an educated person. One
wonders what sound convictions are be-
ing formed in the undergraduate body. of
a college, where, roughly speaking, ten
people in each hall subscribe to a daily
paper, and there is no great clamor for
the hall paper—where also one may re-
tire to the magazine room as the most
cloistered and solitary room in the
Library.

If this apparent lack of interest is due
to the rush of academic life and not the
dulling effect of academic calm, then
there is a real need this year for some
means of quickly summing up the week’s
news and forming a conviction about it.
A weekly current events class, on the
order of the classes conducted in past
years by Dr, Gray and Dr. Fenwick,
would be welcomed, alike by the hasty
scanners of headlines and the more
thoughtful newspaper-reading minority.

SUFFRAGE CLUB LECTURES BEGIN
DR. FENWICK FIRST SPEAKER

With Dr. Fenwick as speaker on
“Political Parties and How to Vote,” the
series of monthly meetings planned by
the Suffrage Club opened in Pembroke
West this evening.

According to Z. Boynton, ’20, president,
the Suffrage Club hopes later to secure
Mrs. George Bass, Democrat, and Mrs.
Medill McCormick, Republican, to ad-
dress the club at open meetings.

An advisory council consisting of one
member from each hall “has been
appointed by the Suffrage Club board:
H. Bennett, B. Kellogg, A. Taylor, W.
Worcester, C. Keeble, 8. Yarnall.

ENDOWMENT RECEIVES LEGACY

On the eve of sailing for France, Cather-
ine Taussig, 19, gave the Bryn Mawr En-
dowment fund a thousand dollars. Miss
Taussig received a legacy before leaving
the country and sent it. at once to Bryn
Mawr.

P. Smith has been elected the Sophomore
A. Publicity Committee in



member of the (

place of BE. Titeomb

10,000 capies of the book, con-
pen a history of the college and a finan-
cial statement, will ” circulated by the
local committees.

Statistical material and graphs have been

furnished through Dr. Kingsbury by stu-
dents in her department. ° Mr. Hurst has
helped with the financial statements. Pres-
ident Thomas last spring made out the
first statements on which these are based.
_ The drive is to be made in February after
all the preliminary arrangements now
under way are completed. Special meetings
will be held at the time of the alumnae
‘meeting and the local chairmen will be
given their material and instructions. The
present work in publicity and organization
among the alumnae is preparatory to the
appeal to be made later:

The, Joint Committee directing the cam-
paign is made up of ten members—for the
faculty, Acting-President Taft, Professor
Wheeler, Professor Kingsbury; for the di-
rectors, Mr. Frederick Strawbridge, Miss
Marion Reiley, Mr. Charles Rhoads, Mr. Asa
Wing, treasurer ex-officio; for the alumnae,
Mrs. Richard Francis, Mrs. Learned Hand,
Miss Leila Houghteling.

The Executive Committee consists of
Professor Wheeler, Mr. Charles Rhoads,
Mrs. Richard Francis. Miss Bertha Ehlers
is the secretary of the Joint Committee.

in honor of the Queen. Her Majesty
took a picture of the game, and showed
great interest in the players, remarking
“They have muscles like men.”

Pembroke dining-room, filled with
flowers, was the scene of a tea given in
honor of the Queen.

As Her Majesty was leaving Pembroke
Arch she remarked to President Taft
that she wished she were eighteen her-
self, and could come to Bryn Mawr.

HISTORY CLUB OPENS YEAR WITH
TALK FROM DR. GRAY

Dr. Howard Gray, Professor of History,
spoke on “The Allied Control of Shipping”
at the first meeting and tea of the History
Club held last Friday in Pembroke.

Informal talks given by professors of his-
tory and economics from Bryn Mawr and
from the universities nearby, and two for-
mal lectures each semester—one on history
and one on economics—will constitute the
activities this year. Among the speakers
whom the president, D. Smith, ’20, has in-
vited are Mr. Herbert Hoover and Mr. Ray-
mond Robins.

PARTIES AND PICNICS AT CENTER

Hallowe’en festivities are the order of
the week at Community Center. ,.One
party will be held tomorrow afternoon
for girls who competed in a recent book
contest to see who could write the best
article on her favorite book. The prize
was carried off by a small Irish girl,
who chose as her favorite Yeats’ “Land
of Heart’s Desire.”

A band of girl scouts, led by A.
Weston, °21, and C. Cameron, '22, had a
picnic supper last week, to which one
child brought for her supper a dozen
eggs and two cans baked beans. Another
event last week was the rummage sale,
where a little girl bought one mitten,
explaining that she had purchased the
mate at the last sale.

FACTORY NEEDS LEADER
FOR GAMES
The Bryn Mawr paper-box factory
needs someone to organize games with
the girls once a week in the noon hour,
12.15 to 12.40. The job is one of the
branches of work at Community Center.
Applicants may see H. Kingsbury, ‘22,
| Rockefeller, for particulars.

fects.

BRYN MAWR REPRESENTATIVES AT
CONGRESS OF WORKING WOMEN



Fourteen Countries ‘Send Delegates

At the International ‘Congress of Work-
ing Women, held in Washington this week,
Dr. Kingsbury, professor of Social Econo-
my, and Miss Bezanson, instructor in Social
Economy, will represent Bryn Mawr. Four-
teen different countries are represented in
the assembly of forty delegates.

The congress is called by the Women’s
Trade Union League of America to discuss
working women’s problems which will come
up later before the International Labor Con-
gress. The Trade Union League called the
gathering because it believes the time has
come for women to assume their new re-
sponsibilities.

Ger yan FROM DAISY ASHFORD
“ARRIVES IN BRYN MAWR

A letter from Daisy Ashford insisting
that she is the author of “The Young
Visitors” and not “an invention of
Barrie’s” has been received by Heraldine
Humphreys, '23. Miss Humphreys wrote
to Miss Ashford a month ago saying that
she believed in her authorship, and a week
ago she got the following letter, written
in very much the same handwriting as
the facsimile in the front of the book:

“Thank you so much for your nice
letter of appreciation about my book. I
am so glad you really like it and espe-
cially to hear that you do believe in my
genuinenessa So many people over here,
even now, still think that Barrie wrote
it, and though it is a very great compli-
ment I am beginning to get a little bit
tired of hearing this. But evidently you
were a highly imaginative and observant |
child yourself, so you were able to spot
that ‘The Young Visitors’ is a genuine
thing. The original Ms. was not altered
by a comma even, and is word for word
as I wrote it. I am not an invention of
Barrie’s, in fact I never met him at all
till after my book was published when
I went to thank him for his kindness in
doing the preface, I hope you will be
able to convince your sceptical friends
that I do exist and that I really
wrote every word of ‘The Young Visit-
ors’ myself, without help from any one,
and that the original Ms. was never
altered or touched up in any way.

“Yours sincerely,
“Daisy ASHFORD,”

NEWS IN BRIEF

Mrs. Florence Kelly, secretary of the Na-
tional Consumers’ League, will speak in
Chapel Thursday.

Opportunity is offered to go through the
Philadelphia College Settlements with del-
egates to the I, C, 8. A, Conference on Sat-
urday, November 15. Anyone who wishes
to go may notify H. Kingsbury, ’22, Rocke-
feller,

A. Nichol, ’22, has been elected manager
of Sophomore Dance.

The Freshmen have elected as a commit-
tee to look up plans for Freshman Show,
Vincent, I, Jacobi and K. Raht.

The principal parts in Sophomore play
will be taken by C. Skinner, producer of the
play, J. Burgess and E. Anderson.





=. Need Fifteen New Dormitories
Mrs, Hannah Dunlop Andrews, who
led the conference, is chairman of the
Smith campaign committee. Mrs,
Andrews was the head of the Smith Re-
lief Unit in France. The plans make a
businesslike appeal for the two specific
needs for dormitories and professors’
salaries. The largest college for women,

| it is stated, is “struggling with the iden-

tical starvation problem Bryn Mawr is
facing. With Smith, as with Bryn Mawr,
the added endowment will merely keep
the doors open.” Fifteen new dormitor-
ies are needed to accommodate the 1,084
students living off campus.
Deficit of $1,637 in Professor’s Budget
The 1918 budget of a Smith teacher,
earning $2,400.00 for the support of a
wife and three children, showed a deficit
of $1,637.00. This difference was made
up by savings and by summer work.
The family did its own work, including
most of the washing, “picked over the
ashes, tended the furnace and shoveled
the snow.” “Such work,” the professor
pointed out,” “is not undignified for a col-
ege professor, but it is the height of poor
economy for a trained scholar. Never-
theless it is inevitable with this salary.”

Effort of Colleges is Cumulative

“The campaign for added endowment
for Smith,” said Mr. Thomas Lamont,
speaking at dinner before the final ses-
sion of the conference, “is only part of a
wide movement sweeping the whole
country ‘in behalf of American educa-
tion.” Mr, Lamont, who is the manager
of the Harvard campaign for fifteen mil-
lion, emphasized the fact that Harvard,
Smith, Princeton, Vassar, Goucher, Bryn
Mawr and the other colleges are not
competitors. Their effort is cumulative,
since the struggle is a genera] struggle
to put education on a sound financial
basis.

For war service, Smith built up a com-
plete organization of districts through its
47 local clubs. This organization is to
‘be turned to endowment-raising — effort
without loss of time. There is a large
permanent alumnae office in College
Hall with a staff of six women. The first
half of the four million dollars is to be
secured by apportioning $265.00 to each
of the 7,500 living graduates.

Freshmen Interview King and Queen

Passing as reporters for a school paper
two enterprising Freshmen interviewed
the King and Queen of the Belgians in
Broad Street Station last night.

The two students, who took the 5.08
into Philadelphia in hopes of seeing King
Albert, found that their train had drawn
up next to the royal train. In order to
remain inside the train shed, which was
closely guarded, they declared them-
selves reporters for a school paper. The
detective attached to the royal party,
whom they mistook for a reporter, ar-
ranged for the astonished students an
interview with their Majesties.

When asked about her visit to Bryn
Mawr, the Queen said: “Bryn Mawr is
lovely. It is just what is needed to train
girls for work today. The place and
spirit are wonderful. I had a delightful
time there.”

King Albert commented upon Hog

E.|Island and expressed regret at not hav-

ing been able to go to Bryn Mawr.
As the train drew out of the station
the Queen waved to the two “reporters”

jand motioned to the King to do likewise. |

BY THE MUSIC COMMITTEE

A series of concerts which would
include such artists as Alfred Cortot,

Music Committee subject to the approval
of the Undergraduates. Class votes will
decide whether or not the students
intend to support the concerts. If a
majority wants the concerts, the com-
mittee expects to be able to give the
series at four dollars a season ticket.
